Volkswagen: Vent Wing Frames, back vent, vw bus


Question
Hi, I have a '71 VW Bus.  My dad and I pulled out the middle and back vent wings and found that the metal frames are rusted out. Also, the rivets that are supposed to attach to the chrome frame around the actual glass are broken off.  I have been trying to figure out whether I need to buy all new framing and glass housing with the glass, just framing and housing, or if these items are even available to purchase.  If they are not available to purchase, then how can I fix these components?

Thanks
Samantha

Answer
Hi Samantha,

The front vent frames are no longer available.  However, I believe I have a few of them.

Send me an email to: ronwolffjr@hotmail.com and I'll check what I have.  Between what you have, and what I have, you will most likely be able to make two unrusted ones for the front.

Thanks,

Ron
